I fail to see where the analogy breaks, from your description. It seems to fit like a glove, with ruthless disregard for any kind of sustainability, draining parasitic/symbiotic relationships and all.

Even better question is, where the world would be if evolution wouldn't allow individual organisms to optimize their fitness by taking part in a race to the bottom? That constant pressure to do more with less... deadly. With "bene

Oh man, this brings back memories... There was this company (shall remain nameless) where the product was always "around the corner". Just one more week or two! Yes it doesn't work right now, but these are minor things, let u

One data point to support your claim: * pure Python: 1.0x (baseline) * NumPy (numeric python): 120x * Google-optimized pure C: 2,500x * optimized Python + Cython + BLAS: 8,700x This is optimizing the same numeric algorithm (word2vec) using

Eric Cline, the author of that book, is also an entertaining speaker. I recommend his 1h youtube talk about the bronze age & genesis of "1177 BC": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hyry8mgXiTk

Yes, that's why the EU is doomed and will be gone within a decade no matter what they do now. "I give the Bolsheviks a year, two at most". Quote from a famous Czech movie [1] about the ill-fated Prague Spring, 1968 :-

Sure. The squandering of EU subsidy money on nonsensical "well chosen" projects is hardly a tinfoil hat conspiracy. It's been covered by most major media in detail [0]. Regarding businesses: what about them? I happen to run a

That's kinda the point, isn't it? Wouldn't a voluntary exchange of trade, labour and policies, in place of "a feeding hand" (what a condescending remark!) be better for everyone? By the way, the subsidies feed mostl

I don't think anyone is really claiming EU is fine . Or that the dividing line is defined along young/old. What is being voted on is simply whether the good bits outweigh the sucky bits. Or whether the sucky bits are at least ref

As someone born and raised in a communist country (what is now Czech Republic), I can tell you it is precisely because we DID NOT FORGET what it was like, that we're against the direction EU is going [0]. The parallels between our (sti

Well, complex algos and engineering failures go hand in hand :-) The approximative kNNs are superior if done well, no doubt about that. It's just that "doing them well" is a major challenge, even for well-established and well

This reminded me of another, related task that comes up a lot in machine learning and IR: searching by vectors (rather than keywords). Aka k-NN ( k nearest neighbors) search. Just as with fulltext search, there's no shortage of clever

I see there's some controversy here about your points (or perhaps just your way of presenting them?). I'd like to weigh to say your advice is solid. Employees are absolutely valued by their boss based on how much hand-holding they

I think you're seriously overestimating quality of the average programmer candidate. Someone who understands what NPM is, has written and published working code (even stupid code) is miles ahead of the curve already. Most companies in

Exactly. And it is the "highly unlikely strategy" bit that can be tailored to your specific opponent, opening a whole new can of research worms. Even in Go. For wodenokoto: you can read more complexity and the difference between &

But this is relevant even in Go AI! As we saw with the recent AlphaGo matches, not understanding your opponent (always assuming you're playing against a clone of yourself, as AlphaGo does), can cause objectively suboptimal play. You ju
